Read Scott's Bio
I have been interested in how things work my whole life.
My favorite classes in school were Metal Shop, Wood Shop, and Electrical Shop.
I graduated from Delcastle Technical High School in Wilmington, Delaware with an Electronics major.
I found automobiles fascinating, so I attended Automotive Training Center in Exton, PA, graduating as an Automotive Machinist.
After working as an Automotive Machinist / Engine Rebuilder for several years, I went to college and received a degree in Automotive Technology.
I worked as an Automobile Technician and business owner for many years.I started working in a conventional machine shop in the early90’s.
My previous job was at ATK in Elkton, MD where I machined rocket engine, missile defense, and other aerospace parts to very tight tolerances using manual and CNC machines.
I have been fascinated with rockets and space for many years, and it was very interesting to manufacture these parts.
I came to the University of Delaware in 2014 and currently enjoy passing on my knowledge and experience to the next generations.
